| Comments: |
After failing to bring my headlamp with me, I bailed on hiking Mount Madison today and did Mount Pemigewasset instead. The trail was mostly frozen granular snow and stable due to low temperature, but someone previously postholed all the way to the top so you have to avoid their footprints. Microspikes were helpful and since Indian Head was a lot of sloped ice I would highly suggest them. |
